After a decade as a journalist I'm back here full circle writing on what I truly love - people's mobilization to create revolutions! Monday, August 22, 2011. Anna's 'monster' Jan Lokpal scares me. Anna Hazare has good intentions but his Jan Lokpal Bill scares me. Team Anna wants to create another draconian structure because they say that the draconian structures we already have in our society are no longer any good. The premise of Jan Lokpal bill is based on a system of 'respectable non-corrupt' offi...

Muslim Icons: Akbar Khaleeli: From tennis courts to foreign shores
http://muslimicons.blogspot.com/2011/09/akbar-khaleeli-from-tennis-courts-to.html
Saturday, September 3, 2011. Akbar Khaleeli: From tennis courts to foreign shores. Akbar Khaleeli, retired Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, is an all-rounder in the true sense of the word. He is perhaps a picture perfect image of an amazing combination of physical and intellectual well-being. He is knowledgeable and humble, articulate and grounded, and above all frank, fearless and meticulous. Please tell us about your education and student days. I have an abiding interest in Tennis and particularly...

Muslim Icons: Naved Masood walks down memory lane
http://muslimicons.blogspot.com/2011/08/naved-masood-walks-down-memory-lane.html
Sunday, August 21, 2011. Naved Masood walks down memory lane. If anybody had any doubts on the merits of reading, this interview will go a long way in demolishing it. Many times parents and guardians nudge their wards to concentrate only on their textbooks and do not fancy them reading other materials. Naved Masood's father also nudged him, but as he says to 'give one try to the IAS etc exam'. And that began his career in the IAS in 1977. He spoke with twocircles.net. 3 How did you prepare for your civil...

When society depends on a television show to probe into their lives to find the dirt, speak out loud what was spoken in hushed tones, find a remedy and bring a revolution, isn't it really expecting too much? Sunday, 7 May 2012: 11 am. The show generated great shock and awe and got everyone talking, tweeting, writing...

The documentary India’s daughter looks straight in the eye and then slaps right across the face! India’s daughter is a story of the December 2012 Delhi gang rape victim Jyoti Singh who everyone knows better as Nirbhaya – the fearless one. Yet the ones that spoke without any fear, dominating the entire docum...The documenta...

Seven out of ten people I spoke to today told me they did not know who Kony was until two weeks ago. The one who knew is an African and two still don’t have a clue. So who is Kony and why has he suddenly gained so much popularity? I’m not convinced that the Kony 2012 campaign will achieve anything apart fr...

After a decade as a journalist I'm back here full circle writing on what I truly love - people's mobilization to create revolutions! Friday, July 8, 2011. Murder on Fleet Street. The Guardian’s recent expose of how the NoW’s hired detective used subterfuge to hack onto phones of unsuspecting civilians including a murdered teenager Milly Dowler shocked everyone. It created a huge public outrage and not without reason. Or a wife telling her lover that with the husband dead now, they were free to elope?

Reflections: Stephen Lawrence, Anuj Bidve and Britain's racial hues

After a decade as a journalist I'm back here full circle writing on what I truly love - people's mobilization to create revolutions! Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Stephen Lawrence, Anuj Bidve and Britain's racial hues. This case has tremendous significance on primarily three factors: race relations, policing and campaigning journalism. Brian Cartcart, author of the ‘Case of Stephen Lawrence’ says:. British society is notorious for turning a blind eye towards race discrimination and hesitant to label incide...
